The "update-index doc: note a fixed bug in the untracked cache" needs to
be amended so it doesn't say "Before 2.16, ":
https://github.com/gitster/git/commit/b9fc38c9f90b8bf2c9147ad536813b66aa45220d#diff-01fe1588047a177245bfaf82336cdeaeR467
I'm not sure whether you're planning this for 2.16.2, or whether it'll
be in 2.17.0, but the patch should be amended to mention either one of
those.
I can submit a replacement patch, but figured this was trivial enough
(and you know more about the release plan) that you'd like to amend this
locally.
